Free Pereskiopsis Cuttings

Post by Lolavy »

I’m not sure if it’s best to post this here or under Plant Swap, but either way…

I started to grow pereskiopsis to graft cacti and, given how quickly they multiply, I find myself with way too many rooted and unrooted cuttings that I’d like to give away.

I was thinking of starting an Etsy storefront to make it easy to charge accurately for shipping, but they charge a transaction fee for every order, and I’m not really doing this for the money.

From 6 P. Spathula unrooted cuttings and 4 P. Porteri rooted cuttings I acquired in May, I now have over 80 rooted cuttings, and once I cut the many overgrown offshoots this week, I will have well over 100 cuttings. Madness!! It’s such that I’ve just started placing cuttings in water, and surprisingly, those are also growing rapidly with minimal nutrients.

The purpose of this post: I’m trying to figure out if there would be any takers for unrooted and rooted cuttings for just the cost of packaging and shipping (unfortunately I’m not currently in a financial position to cover the cost myself)? If so, please reply below with how many you would want, a preference for rooted or unrooted cuttings, and where you’re located.

If there’s any/enough interest, I’ll figure out the best way to start sending these out as it’s truly becoming overwhelming, but I’m hesitant to just start throwing them away.
